Application {lsd otober9. 1906. ,-Borisl lo. 388.159. l

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. NORTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have 5 invented a new and useful Grinding-Machine, o f which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a machine for grinding carwheels and similar objects which can be rotated on an axis while the grinding wheels are rotated in contac 1Q with the surface thereof. i

The principal objects of my invention are to provide e adjustable supports for the car-wheel axle; provide for accurately positioning the whe'el and axle with respect to mechanism for rotating the same; provide an im- 15 proved floating drive for the axle; improve the means for adjusting the position of the grinding wheels in all directions, provide convenient and effective means for automatically feeding the grinding wheels across the faces of the car wheels, provide for automatically stopping the traverse of the grinding wheels or of either of them at4 any desired time at the limit of their traverse and prevent their being stopped at any other point; provide for locating the various parts required in the operation of grinding car wheels and the like in convenient. relations with respect to each other; and generallyimprove the construction and operation of machines of this character so as to simplify the same and increase their efiiciency, and so as to operate all the mechanism from a single source of power. v Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure is a front elevation of a machine illustrating my invention, parts being broken away to show elements in the rear. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same with the Over-head driving mechanism removed. Fig. 3 is a plan of one of the grinding-wheel-supports and the ltraverse mechanism for a grinding wheel on an enlarged scale. Fig. 4 is a plan of the work-drive mechanism. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view of a pillow block for supporting the car-wheel-shaft. Fig'. 6 is a central lony,gitudinal section of the pillow-block. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal vertical section of one of the thrust bearings. Fig. 8 'is a front elevation of .the work-drive-stand. Fig. 9 is asection on the line 9-9 of Fig. 4, showing an end elevation'of the work-drive-stand and the driving mechanism. Fig'. 10 is a face view of an equalizing lplate employed on lthe Work-drive-stand. Fig. 11 is a rear elevation of` one of the grinding-wheel slides and `wheel traverse mechanism. Fig. 12 is a plan of a por- 5,0` tion of the wheel traverse mechanism. Fig. 13 is a plan showing the wheel traverse eccentric. Fig. 14 is an end elevation of a slide-stop striker. Fig. 15 is a side elevation of one ofthe grinding-wheel slides. Fig.

`cylindrical or conical surface as a safe door, for exam- 16 is a plan of the base for said slide, and Fig. 17 is a section of' the same on the line 17-17 of Fig. 16.

Although the invention may be carried outk in a machine constructed to grind only one car wheel or other ple, I have provided convenient means whereby it may be applied in such a manner as to simultaneously grind off two conical car-wheels on an axle and the above described drawings illustrate the invention as applied in this manner.

For thev purpose of driving all parts of the machine from va single source of power, I have mounted on a base 10 a pair of uprights 11-11 which support hangers for a counter shaft 12. This counter-shaft may be d'riven from a motor 13 or other source of power, and it is provided with a seriesyof pulleys or other power transmitting devices for driving the various parte of the machine. For driving -the work I have shown` this shaftas provided with a cone-pulley 14 operating'a cone-pulley 15 shown in Figs. 2 and 4. On the shaft which carries the latter pulley is a bevel pinion 16 driving a bevel gear 17 which i's loosely mounted on a shaft 18. The gear 17 is provided with a clutch section 19,

and on the shaft 18 is mounted a sliding clutch member 20 which is manipulated by a rod 2l and a starting lever 22. When the clutch is thrown into connection with the clutch section 19 the rotation of the pulley l5 is transmitted to the shaft 18, and from that throughs. worm 23 to-a lworm-wheel 24. This 'worm-wheel is in a bearing 25 on a work-drive-stand 26 mounted on the base 10, and it is designed to rotate the work whichis shown in the present case in the form of a pair of carwheels A fixed on an axle Bwhich isshown as projecting beyond the outer sides of the wheels and rests in bearings which will be described below.

I In order to permit conveniently placing the axle in I" position, the bearing 25 is provided as usual with an opening 27l in the top thereof to permit the shaft B to be deposited in it.V -In order to permit the shaft to be lowered in this manner the worm-wheel is provided with a removable segment 28. This segment has shoulders 29 fitting corresponding shoulders on the wormwheel, and is provided with a yoke 30 which is forced against a surface 31 on the worm-wheel by any desired means in order to clamp the segment andv yoke in position. The means which I have shown for clamping l these parts is in the form of a bolt 32 projecting from the segment 28 and a nut on the bolt and on the inside bf the yoke. The worm wheelis provided with an Open center to accommodate the 4shaft B.

In order to obviate any inequality in the centering of the shaft in the worm-wheel 24, the latter is provided with an equalizing plate 33 shown in detail in Fig. 10. This plate is of a general horse-shoe shape to permit the shaft to -be lowered to the center of the worm-wheel, and it is provided with a pair ofopposite radial ways 34 for receiving grooves on the wormwheel. It alsohas grooves 35 on its opposite face, preferably located at substantially right angles to'the Ways 34, and receiving ways on a work-drive-dog 36 which is of a shape similar to that of the equalizing plate. The plate 33 has gibs 36 for assisting in holding the dog. Adjusting screws 37 are carried by the workdrive-dog for engaging the shaft and rotating the same. The equalizing plate does not positively 'support the work-drivedog in all positions, but constitutes a floating drive for the axle B, being movable to accommodate any inequalities in the centering of the latter.

The parts so iardescribed provide for rotating the axle carrying the car-wheels, but do not provide for supporting it. For this purpose a pair of pillow-blocks 38 are employed. These pillow-blocks are mounted to slide toward and from each other along ways 39 so that they can accommodate axles in which the bearings are either inside or outside the wheels. For the purpose of adjusting these pillow-blocks they arel provided with an adjusting right and left-hand screw 40, and a ratchet wrench 41 is used to engage a ratchet wheelf42 fixed to the screw for the purpose of rotating it. This screw has bearings in the stationary work-drive-stand 26 and passes into screw-,threaded openings in the pillow' blocks 38.

In order to provide forconveniently supporting the car axle Aon the pillow-blocks each is provided with a spherical bearing 43 which is free to turn in all directions but one, being kept from turning circumferentiallywith respect to thel axle by means of a pin 44 engaging a longitudinal groove in the bottom of the bearing. By using this automatic adjustment it is not necessary to be so particular about lining up thebearings, and there is no danger of binding.v

When an axle is a little small it will rest on the bottom of a cylindrical bearing and be free to vibrate therein. Consequently in this class of work such a bearing will not provide means for connecting the rotating work with the base of the machine and affording a positive non-vibrating support therefor. In orderto avoid this, I have provided means whereby the axle will always bear at two points even if it is materially smallerl than the standard bearing in the pillow block. .To accomplish this these bearings are cut out along the bottom of their bearing surfaces, and the space filled with a strip of soft yielding material 45, as felt, extending from one end of the bearing to the other and saturated with oil. Thus the'axle always will have at least two bearing points and the felt affords self lubrication.

For the purpose of preventing end play, thrust bearings are employed. To make these bearings more readily adjustable, and especially to provide for efcient operation when the center bore in the axle is not in center with the bearing surface and to otherwise improve them, I have shown them as constructed in the following manner. They are provided with slots 46 through which clamping screws pass to secure them on a projection of the pillow block. The projection has two sets o f holes 47 for the screws so that .the bearings may be placed in proper position for axles with either outside or inside bearings. The bearings are included in casings 48 one of which is provided with a sliding-spindle 49. At its bearing end this spindle has a-disk 50 on which bears a ball 51 held in position by a ball-retainer 52 and a washer 53. The ball and ball retainer are considerably smaller than the cavities in which they are located so as to have vertical and lateral play to accommodate axles, the center bores of which have got out of center. The Washer is for holding them on the casing. The spindle 49 is preferably hollow, and is provided with a screw threaded opening into which an adjusting end-thrust screw 54 is adapted to enter. This screw has a bearing 55 on the casing and hand-wheel 56 for operating it. A binding screw 57 is employed for engaging the spindle and holding itin adjusted positions and also for preventing the rotation of the spindle.

In order to properly grind the conical surfaces of the two car wheels, a pair of grinding wheels 58 are employed. These wheels are provided with shields 58n if desired and are operated from the counter-shaft 12 by means of a pair of pulleys 59-59 thereon. Binders 59 are shown to permit them to deliver power to cone pulleys 60 on the shafts on which the grinding-wheels are mounted. Each of 'these shafts is located in bearingsA `the intermediate slide is moved longitudinally with respect to the non-rotatable screw 69. The slide-base 65 is swiveled on the main base 10 of themachine, clamping bolts 70, passing through curved slots"71, being employed for holding the base in adjusted positions. The movement of the intermediate slide across 1 the slide base is very short and necessarily slow. Consequently the ways on which it slides are liable to' get gummed up in practice. To avoid this, I have inclosed'. a laterally grooved guide way 72 in a receptacle 73 for.v

oil.- On the other side of the slide-base a flat grooviedbearing surface 74 is provided which is also inclosed in a receptacle 75 for oil. It will be seen, therefore, that f vgrinding wheel to reciprocate across the surface of'the car-wheel from the flange to the edge so as to grind the same vin an ecient manner. For this purpose the counter-shaft 12 is provided with a cone-pulley 80 or the like, delivering power to a cone pulley 81 mounted on a wheel `traverse speed stand 82.l This pulley transmitspower through gears 83 and 84 to a shaft 85. This shaft is connected by a pair of clutches 86 with a pair of shafts 87, one located at each` end thereof. Each of these shaftstransmits power by means of a worm 88 andv a worm-wheel 89 to a traverse wheel eccentric 90. On each of these eccentrics is a connecting rod 91 which as has beforebeen stated, is connected with the nut 68. The rotation of the shafts 87` therefore transmits to the intermediate slide a 'reciprocating motion, and as these -is pivotally connected with one of the screws 69 which,

.slides'are adjusted in'angular position by the swiveling of the slide-bases'thefgrinding wheels are given such'a traverse they will off a cylindrical or conical' a starting lever 94. A spring 95 .is provided 'for normally forcingthe into such a position as to open the clutch and prevent transmission of power from the shaft to the shafts 87.v When the starting lever is turned, to bring the clutch sections int'o engagement, a catch 96 on the yshaft 93 slips beyond a projection on a gravity pawl 97, and the latter drops so that the projection falls behind the catch and prevents the opening of the clutch. i

For the purpose of automatically releasing the pawl 97 to permit the spring 95 to open the clutch I have' provided the following mechanism.. vOn a bracket 98 mounted at one end of the screw 69 is pivotally supported a slide-stop striker 99 having a handle by which it may be manipulated. This striker is pivoted on the bracket in such a manner that when in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 14, the heavier end of 'the striker will be on the opposite side ofthe pivot from the end of the bracket against which the other end of the striker engages, so'that the striker will remain in this position. When tipped over to the position shown in dotted lines, gravity will hold it in that position. In the latter position the end of the striker is so located that on the reciprocation ofthe screw 69, the striker will engage an adjustable screw 100 mounted'on a sliding stop pawl lifter 101. This 'lifter is provided with an arm 102 having a slantiug surface engaging under a complementary surface'ofthe pawl 97 to lift the latter on the rearward reciprocation of the screw 69 and slidestop striker. This permits the spring 95 to force the clutch sections apart. These parts are, of course, duplicated on the two sides of the machine, and the mechanism ordinarily will operate until one of the strikers 99-is tipped over in thev position shown in dotted lines in Fig. I4. Then on the next stroke of the eccentric when the latter is at the limit of its stroke in the poof the wheelsis connected with the means for adjusting the same and is operable inall adjusted positions of the slide on which the'. grinding wheel is supported.

"For thefpurposeof conveniently. supplying water for the grinding .operation the counter-shaft 12 is providedv with a pulley 103 ferdri'ving apump 104.'v This pump conveys water from a tank 105 conveniently located, through pipes 10'6 .to nozzles 107 located in proper position over the wheels. v l

It will be seen that by the employment of the princilples herein illustrated, whether in the form shown or otherwise, within the scope ofmy invention, most convenient and eiicientmeans is provided for positioning the support is adjusted.

the car-wheels or other articles befworked, rotating' the same, adjusting the pillow-,blocks to provide for inside and .outside bearings, etc., adjusting the grinding 'wheels' in all' necessary ways, causing the grinding .wheels to `traverse in'a". most efficient and simple manner,automatically stopping either or both of thegrinding-wheels at the convenience of the operator, preventing the operator stopping them at an intermediate point of their traverse, supplying water to the grinding-l wheels, and performing all the other operations which are desirable in this class of work, all from the same y source of power.

While I have illustrated and described herein an improved form of bearing and an adjustable end-thrust bearing, I do not herein claim the same, as they constitute a separate invention on which I reserve the right to file a divisional application or applications.

While `I have illustrated and described a particular form in which my invention may be embodied, I am aware that many modifications may be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing fromthe scope of the invention as expressed in the claims. Therefore, I do not wish to be limited to the particular elements of construction shown, but
